=head1 NAME
B<pth-config> - Pth library build utility
=head1 VERSION
GNU Pth PTH_VERSION_STR
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<pth-config>
[B<--help>]
[B<--version>]
[B<--all>]
[B<--prefix>]
[B<--exec-prefix>]
[B<--bindir>]
[B<--libdir>]
[B<--includedir>]
[B<--mandir>]
[B<--datadir>]
[B<--acdir>]
[B<--cflags>]
[B<--ldflags>]
[B<--libs>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<pth-config> program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and
building applications based on the pth(3) library. It can be used to query the
C compiler and linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link
the application against the pth(3) library.
=head1 OPTIONS
B<pth-config> accepts the following options:
=over 4
=item B<--help>
Prints the short usage information.
=item B<--version>
Prints the version number and date of the installed pth(3) library.
=item B<--all>
Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not
B<Pth> specific.
=item B<--prefix>
Prints the installation prefix of architecture independent files
=item B<--exec-prefix>
Prints the installation prefix of architecture dependent files.
=item B<--bindir>
Prints the installation directory of binaries.
=item B<--libdir>
Prints the installation directory of libraries.
=item B<--includedir>
Prints the installation directory of include headers.
=item B<--mandir>
Prints the installation directory of manual pages.
=item B<--datadir>
Prints the installation directory of shared data.
=item B<--acdir>
Prints the installation directory of B<autoconf> data.
=item B<--cflags>
Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the pth(3)-based
application. The output is usually added to the C<CFLAGS> variable of the
applications C<Makefile>.
=item B<--ldflags>
Prints the linker flags (C<-L>) which are needed to link the application with
the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the C<LDFLAGS> variable of
the applications C<Makefile>.
=item B<--libs>
Prints the library flags (C<-l>) which are needed to link the application with
the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the C<LIBS> variable of the
applications C<Makefile>.
